Guardian Singles’ hectic, visceral music and pummelling live shows have earned them a reputation as one of the best live bands in New Zealand, and one that always keeps you guessing.

Guardian Singles is Thom Burton (Soccer Practise) Durham Fenwick (Dimmer) Nat Bristow (Noxo) and Fiona Campbell (Vivian Girls/Chain and the Gang/Coolies). Over two full length albums released on US label Trouble In Mind, they present an amalgam of early-80s influences (think Husker Du jamming with Wire at a Flying Nun tribute night) with touches of industrial, shoegaze, and motorik in places. They are currently completing a third record.
